Right. I’m out of here. I don’t think I need to explain why. It was fun while it lasted. Find me on Bluesky if you’re so inclined. Cheers.

Environmental activism is not a crime.

Reminder: burning forests is never a good idea
#Drax - a power company that's received £6bn in UK 'green' subsidies has kept burning wood from some of the world's most precious Canadian forests, the BBC has found buff.ly/48tNpLD #greenwashing

This is 1930s-style fascism, with the added twist that Milei is a creature of the Atlas Network, a confederation of rightwing junktanks funded by some of the world's grimmest oligarchs and corporations. What they are getting in Argentina is what they want everywhere.
Be warned.
Compare and contrast the response to climate activism from a community that is actually impacted by climate breakdown with that of the right-wing media and other agents of the fossil fuel industry that are fuelling it. theguardian.com/media/2023/s…
When I touch my feet 👣 on my village Bashikhong in Manipur, India 🇮🇳, my community people gave me a heroic welcome today for my actions in #COP28UAE because my community is already the victims of climate change. I have no words except my tears 😭. ♥️🙏🏻😇

Less than 48hrs later, COP28 president's mask slips:
"The world continues to need low-carbon oil and gas and low-cost oil and gas. When the demand stops, that’s a completely different story."
There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. Low. Carbon. Oil.

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.
So here it is folks the technology that will save us.
Besides all the direct IPCC language, there is also a clear concern that fossil CO2 that is intended to be captured will be poorly captured with more CO2 even up in the atmosphere. (see link for lessons learned from CCS)

This is the trouble though with 'but it's the system', 'but it's the billionaires', and 'but it's' whatever else. Sooner or later you can't avoid the fact that it's you, too.
It’s like some nightmarish new form of #NetZero here a rich country tries to offset its climate crimes by being ‘nice’ to one of its poorer victims.
